New York Fashion Week SS12: Thakoon, Jeremy Scott, 3.1 Philip Lim

Who: ThakoonWhat it made us think of: An edgy indie director takes over grandma's line-dancing class.What we liked: technicolored hair, full skirts, neon, paisley, the florals (not something I usually like), embroidered details, print sundresses, shoesWhat we didn't: bi-colored hats, the pants, lamé, the long skirts lost the plotWho: Jeremy ScottWhat it made us think of: After recession hits Whoville, the Whos move to a trailer park in Arizona. Soon all their children have fallen prey to the trappings of cowboy trailer life.What we liked: This is a hard thing to judge because this designer is intentionally humorous. Although I can see someone like Katy Perry in some of the mini dresses.What we didn't: Again, hard to say, but the menswear was retina-searing.Who: 3.1 Philip LimWhat it made us think of: Philip Lim, why do you suddenly suck?What we liked: a vest with tails, ribbon stripe shirts,What we didn't: slits on the pants, retiree pastels, minimalism, the shoes, acid washed denim vest

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.
